Hey John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I listened to an old sermon of yours recently.\u00a0 The title was \u00a0\u201cYour Choices Determine Your Future\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0I felt as though it was going to be good.\u00a0 It was!\u00a0 Here are some things that really touched me that you preached.<\/span><\/p>\n

(1) Our lives, right now, are the result of the decisions we have made in the past.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

(2) \u00a0After Adam made his decision, after the deed was done, he had no more choice. He could only reap what he had sown.\u00a0 You are going to reap what you have sown!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

(3) \u00a0Whether we want it this way or not, our choices determine our future.\u00a0 Adam lost his happy life.\u00a0 He ate sorrow the rest of his time on earth.\u00a0 He had no choice about that because he had made the wrong choice.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

You then asked a question John, you asked, \u201cDo you have any good thing in your life that you\u00a0want to keep?\u201d\u00a0 Do you really want to keep your blessings?\u00a0 The key is to live like you want to keep them.\u00a0 You have to have thankfulness for what God has giving you – health, wealth, the people in your life – treat those people land things like you value them because things can change, and will change.<\/span><\/p>\n

(4) God had told Adam, “In the day you eat thereof, you will die.” \u00a0But Adam didn\u2019t believe it, and he didn’t value his happy life, so God gave him another one.\u00a0 And in time, he died.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

(5) Don\u2019t play around with your blessings.\u00a0 You may wake up one day to find them gone, and there may not be a way to get them back.\u00a0 Value them!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

(6) God has blessed us with the freedom to make choices, but once our choice has been made and the deed done, the results are entirely up to God.\u00a0 You have no say-so in that.\u00a0 We have to take advantage of the opportunity to make the right choices!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This was just the first four tracks of the cd.\u00a0 It made me consider the times, today.\u00a0 God is so good!\u00a0 Let\u2019s choose God first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul<\/span><\/p>\n
